history

Schillersdorf belonged to the Duchy of Opava . Together with the neighboring, German-populated places Ludgersthal and Markersdorf, it was in the east of the Hultschiner Ländchen . In the 15th century it was owned by the Knights of Schillersdorf, around 1530 it belonged to Lords Birka von Nassiedel ( Bírka z Násile ). In 1560 the Lords of Würben acquired the rule of Schillersdorf, to which the entire Hultschiner Ländchen was subject at that time. They probably had a Renaissance fort built, which was first mentioned in a document in 1609 when Schillersdorf was acquired by Bohunka Stosch von Kaunitz , the wife of Johann Saszowski von Geraltowitz alias Geraltowsky (Polish: Gierałtowski ) from the Silesian noble family Haus Saszowski (Szaszowski, Schassowsky) . After several changes of ownership, it came to Countess Barbara Perpetua von Ursenberg, who sold Schillersdorf to the Troppauer Jesuit College in 1674 . The Jesuits built the baroque Church of the Assumption at the beginning of the 18th century. As they demanded excessive taxes from their subjects, a peasant uprising broke out in 1734.

After the First Silesian War , Schillersdorf fell to Prussia in 1742, like almost all of Silesia . It initially remained in the possession of the Jesuits, but was placed under the administration of the Neisser Jesuit College, now also in Prussia . After the Jesuit order was abolished in 1773, Schillersdorf was administered by the Royal Prussian Chamber. She sold it in 1787 to baron Karl von Larisch, who sold it to baron Friedrich von Eichendorff in the same year . During his reign, a classicist-style castle was built on the site of the old fort, which had been neglected during the Thirty Years' War. Here spent Joseph von Eichendorff , a nephew of the then owner, some youth. In 1817 serfdom was abolished in the Schillersdorf manor . In 1835 Schillersdorf was acquired by Franz Hubert Stücker von Weyershof, who sold it to Baron Salomon Meyer von Rothschild in 1846 . The Schillersdorf estate and castle remained with his descendants until the expropriation in 1945. Under the Rothschilds, the castle park was expanded and greenhouses and orangeries were built.

Due to the Versailles Treaty of 1919, Schillersdorf and the Hultschiner Ländchen were added to Czechoslovakia in 1920 without a referendum . After the Munich Agreement of September 29, 1938, Schillersdorf was occupied by the German Empire together with the Hultschiner Ländchen. It now belonged to the district of Hultschin, which in 1939 was incorporated into the district of Ratibor in the Prussian province of Silesia. After the end of the Second World War , Schillersdorf fell back to Czechoslovakia.
